Parkway Buffer To Get A Fence

Monarch Lakes residents, who lost the buffer between their homes and Miramar Parkway when the road was expanded, soon will have a 6-foot fence to protect them.

The City Commission also recently approved spending $245,000 to extend the berm.

In October, dozens of Monarch Lakes residents demanded that the city build a wall to prevent cars from accidentally driving into their back yards. Commissioners created a committee with residents to find ways of improving the buffer on the north side of Miramar Parkway. The city also will improve landscaping.
